I need to replace my E34 tube on my Audio Aero Amp


I bought an Audio Aero Capitole amp on audiogon and recently I noticed quite the, for lack of a better description, feedback noise that would happen in my right channel shortly after powering up the amp.

I tried trading tubes from the left channel to the right and after much experimentation, I have isolated the problem to the E34 tube.

these are the tubes that came with the amp. They are 'JJs".

Question: are there better tubes? Can I use other brands or should I just stick with the same replacements?

Any suggestions, and a name of a distributor are appreciated.

thanks.

Infinitebaffle is correct. I had been using the 'new' Svetlana's, recently switched to the SED's, harmonically richer, more transparent. SED's are the way to go.
